Alexa and I discussed in great detail the section of the novel she had read for homework. We discussed the similarities in this novel and her last novel PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. The time periods are similar and so are some of the beliefs of the time. Alexa and I then answered in detail the discussion questions from which Alexa will choose her topic for her essay. The answers are serving as Alexa's pre-writing. She does a nice job answering them. Alexa will finish reading the novel for homework.
